For once plea of insanity in a murder trial
proves to be entirely justfable, for beyond
doubt the man Shpman who killed Mrs. Ma
son. his landlady, is a raving lunatic. The case
is not devoid of a conspicuous moral, however.
For some time before he killed Mrs. Mason,
Shipm ans conduct was eccentric and ought to
have put the people about him ON their guard
But they seem rather to have been amused by
his performances, and a shocking murder,
which might have been avoided, was the re-
suit.

Members of the Ladies' Health Protective

Senator Cullen's bill to establish a manure
dump on the east side of the city, and deserve
great credit for so doing. If the bill should

result. Everybody knows this; yet what is
every OOdy's business is nObody's business, and
the measure has had a chance of success I'D to
this time. The Ladies' Association is now
aroused and has stirred up the Health Board to
